Beautiful frescoes, rudimentary doodles, and a pair of skeletons are the latest discoveries out of Pompeii's ongoing excavations.
Two sets of human remains, a variety of paintings, and a handful of childrens’ doodles were recently found in Pompeii , the ancient Roman town that was buried by a volcanic eruption in 79. Pompeii was rediscovered in the 18th century and remains an active archaeological site today. Due to the nature of the city’s destruction—it was totally covered in ash spewed up by Mount Vesuvius —the city was remarkably preserved.
Inside the house, archaeologists found frescoes of mythological figures including griffins, mermaids, centaurs, and the gods Venus , Apollo, and Bacchus . In the house of the colonnaded Cenacle , excavators found charcoal drawings on the walls of one corridor. Based on their rudimentary look, the team concluded they were probably made by a child. The sketches show two gladiators facing off, an eagle’s head, and a hunting scene.
